Patent number: 5377863Abstract: A manipulatable and detachable container clamp adapted to engage an open paint container. The clamp has an elongated body formed into a manual gripping handle and a platform support. A flared brush-cleaning and brush-support platform is fixed to the platform support so as to project away from the handle. A container-engaging clamping bracket having a pair of spaced fingers is fixed to the body with each finger facing opposite sides of the container sidewall when the bracket is seated upon the upper edge of the container so that the platform projects into the container. A manually-adjustable screw is coupled to the bracket for clamping the bracket tightly upon any container engaged by the bracket. One of the bracket fingers is preferably seated in a paint-container reinforcing groove which is commonplace in many paint containers. This seating arrangement enables the clamp to be fixedly secured to the paint container.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1994Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Inventor: Bruno Widman

Patent number: 5230434Abstract: An intermodal transportation system for hauling bulk materials, particularly municipal solid waste, by rail and truck utilizes multiple rectangular, open-top boxes each having a removable lid. The system includes a forklift with an articulated frame actuated by hydraulics which engages channels formed in the box or in the lid. Lock bars on the box are clamped by locking members carried on the forklift to hold the box on the forks during an over-the-side dumping movement. The forklift empties the box with a roll-out motion combining a forward rotation of a lifted box with a backward movement of the box. A reinforced flatbed railcar receives up to four 21 foot long boxes and lids with a total carrying capacity of up to 100 tons. Each car contains upright corners that guide the boxes onto the railroad car and then restrain it. The containers are flush with the upper surface of the railroad car when engaged in the corners. A tractor trailer with a tilt-up roller bed and winch hauls the boxes on highways.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1991Date of Patent: July 27, 1993Assignee: Intermodal Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth J.
